I am quite new to Linux so please bear with me........Ok heres my problem.
I have a Windows 95 box thaat has 2 netcards. One for cable modem

which is an internet sharing software (invisible proxy) . I have another
Win95 client on my LAN as well as a Win98 & Redhat 6.1 box. In the DNS
settings box in Win95 I input the ip address of the Win95 proxy as well as
the clients hostname & my internal domain name. As you can imagine the the
other Win95 & Win98 clients are able to resolve hostnames no problem and get
on the net. My Linux box won't for some reason. I can ping external Ip
address but I can't resolve hostnames. Any ideas on what i might be doing
wrong.

Hi,

Windows is probably using 'wins' for name resolution. AFAIK, there's
no support for 'wins-client' in Linux.

Find the IP(s) for the name server(s) on your ISP; put those directly
into the Linux box.
